Description
A delightful dish featuring tender chicken in a rich, creamy sauce with perfectly cooked pasta, perfect for impressing family and friends.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces pasta (e.g., fettuccine or penne)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken bites to the skillet. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain the pasta and set it aside.
- In the same skillet with the cooked chicken, pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and allow it to heat through. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and smooth.
- Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy sauce until well coated, ensuring that every strand or piece is enveloped in that rich flavor.
- Serve the creamy Parmesan pasta topped with the garlic butter chicken bites. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of freshness and color.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and don’t overcook the chicken. Choose pasta shapes that hold sauce well.
